Anyone know how soon you'll be able to download the OST?

My guess is that they'll get all the post-campaign digital rewards out in a similar time-frame, here's what Feargus said about the Tyranny coupons (and he's said similar things in response to queries about other rewards iirc) in Fig comments:

quote:

We are going to get our backer site up very soon (hopefully this week), and then we will need to pull everyone's info over from FIG after the campaign. I'm giving us two weeks after the campaign to make that happen, but I'm hoping it will be done sooner rather than. So, latest should be the week of March 13th.

e: This is for the pillars 1+WM OST, no idea about the Pillars 2 OST

I also hope that they switch it up from the PoE voiceacting. It was... passable but didn't add anything for the most part (with a few exceptions), and Tyranny's voiceacting was downright bad I think.

I'll just be happy if we can avoid horrible sibilance issues.

Maybe when you get security maxxxed out you're unable to import that character into the sequel. :)

Ladies and gentlemen: prepare the shipping charts.

Also, I can see them getting to $3.25M, but I don't think much beyond that. There's usually a big upswing near the end of the campaign, which could push them to that point. Either way, I'm glad that the $3M mark was hit, since the deeper relationships were what I was keenly interested in.

My offhand guess is "no," just because you have to, at some point during development, firmly pin down exactly what you're making and how you're going to get it done in the allotted time. That admittedly depends on how ambitious the remaining stretch goals are. Being six+ months into development and suddenly getting a slacker backer milestone for something like the Companion Relationships system complicates things dramatically, but I could see it if it's something like sidekicks (since they're simply making use of existing systems and just require money for more writing time/VAing).

I'm going to confidently predict 3.5 million. I still don't get fig funds, but they supposedly have 2 million in total just from those, waiting to clear.

Also predicting that you travel around in a normal-rear end ship, and the 3.5 stretch goal will be to make it upgradeable. That or another companion, bringing the total up to the 8 of the first game.

I'm still missing the wires from the following people:

* Angstrom Gothington
* Basic Chunnel
* Litany Unheard
* Nasgate

* Jet Jaguar
* Damienz

Because of these missing pledges I have collected only ~$350 out of the 600ish that was pledged.

Also I received some money from people who didn't give me their SA username so I have no loving idea who they are. If you wired money but haven't heard from me, make sure you show up on the sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WEsUoXqnsjfN-LpGk1U3R3bQQNJx557bKnZhWUyEe8w/edit#gid=608799964

Feargus mentioned in the comments that they're going to have a cutoff date for slacker backer pledges counting towards the stretch goal and backer-specific rewards. I assume a lot of it depends on the ambitiousness of their stretch goals.

The 3 million we see now includes 1.49 fig funds. Those seem to be getting released at a pace to stay even with the backer pledges. So there are .51 million to come. Given that and the way that crowdfunding typically is a U shape, I think we'll easily clear 4 million and might reach 4.5.

It's interesting how important perception is. One of the last Fig campaigns I looked at really really annoyed me that they cleared their goal with like 95% fig funds on the first day. But I'm ok with this 50/50 split they've been doing with Pillars even though I know in the back of my head it comes to the same in the end.

I wonder if they'll keep it up or just dump all the remaining backup funds on the last day or what.

Alas, no. My desire for pig-based goods is not quite that strong.

Backing rates have been faster for the last few days than it was, say, a week ago. The big boost was about $120k in investments. So Obsidian probably does not actually know when the investments get approved.

All days are nights to see till I see thee; and nights bright days when dreams do show me thee.
PoE was one of those games that took me forever to finally pick up, but of course now I am hooked. Question though:

What do you do with Pellegina to make her a good tank? Eder is my main tank, but it seems like Pellegina ends up absorbing like 3x the damage. Do you just load her up with heavy armor and a shield? That seems like a waste of her talents, but otherwise even with a DR10 armor she can't quite standup in the frontline.

I seem to have more luck with loading up Kana with armor and a shield and just using his chants, but I feel like I am missing something with Pellegina.

Pallegina is more of an off-tank. You can spec her to absorb damage but she can't be a linebacker like Eder can, or any other fighter for that matter. Remember that fighters and chanters have passive endurance regen - if Eder is specced as a tank he can easily regen more health than he loses, up until the point at which he's truly mobbed.

Enchant her armor with Resolve (I had her in this for most of the game) and find something with a good Deflection score to give her; with her passive included, she'll end up with something like 110-120 Deflection in the late game.
